The Grads

Two of my favorite guys in the whole wide world graduated this past week.

World, let me introduce you to my little cousin Arick.
(He's too cool for pictures.)

I did manage to talk him into one though.

Cousin Amanda: 1 - Teen Angst: 0

Then, there was my sweet, darling and wild little Ethan.

Here is his last day of school photo. How cute is he?





After forcing him to take the photo above,
I kept my promise and let him take
the picture he REALLY wanted to take.





Classy, ain't it?

Here he is running away from my camera...

I don't know why...

...it's not like I use it all the time.

He was so excited and quite a gentleman standing up there.

Here he is accepting his award.

Here's Ethan with Mrs. Blood. She's the one he sent to the hospital.

This is Mrs. Oligher.

She is one FANTASTIC teacher.

We got off on the wrong foot at first but

we really bonded over
getting Ethan the help he needs.

(Side note: You may be wondering why the teachers are wearing leis. Euless is home to one of the largest communities of Tongans in the United States. They traditionally give out leis for special occasions!)

Last but not least, this is Ethan's little girlfriend C'Niya.
She's the one I told you about in this post.

Too bad they'll go to different schools next year.
